What are the requirements these days to buy an assault rifle?

I only recently moved back to NC and discovered the laws are significantly different with respect to handguns versus long guns (rifles & shotguns).

So, until escrow closes on the house we bought and I get settled into the new digs, mine will stay locked up and secure in Virginia.

Why that?

Why that?

 

I had my gun safe mounted in a wall inside a closet and in my temporary rental I really have nowhere to put it. So I was able to leave it with the police range where I moved from. Soon as I get moved again, I can go get it.

 

By the way, this is what I have for home defense. It's something my wife can easily handle, and we tried out several types and styles of firearms before deciding on this Benelli M3 Tactical Convertible semi-auto 12-guage.

They make an M2 and an M4 model as well. This one ran me about $1600, or about the same as 2 of our 3 pistols. She is very comfortable with this and handles it very well, which was the primary factor. Once we're moved in permanently, we'll get everything taken care of for NC because she likes to carry her H&K P30 9mm. I have a Sig Sauer P229 9mm and an older Beretta 92S 9mm that I've had for years and had a slightly oversized grip set put on because my hands are pretty big. The Beretta feels great and I really enjoy shooting it.

Makes sense.

 

Check my earlier post, I added some info on the shotgun we bought for the house. My wife isn't petite, she's pretty much a jock, but rifles intimidated the crap outta her until I stepped away from the whole thing and let a cop friend of ours teach her how to use, handle, etc. Then, at his suggestion, we started looking at the pistol grip model shotguns.

 

The important factor is for the person who will be using it to feel like they have complete control of the weapon in their hands. If it's the least bit uncomfortable or it feels heavy or they're just afraid of it "getting away from them" they'll never step up to use it. It's kinda like baseball when we were kids- put the right size and weight of bat in the kids hands so they feel like they get the most out of it. For me, as soon as the wife had the added feeling of control that comes with the pistol grip, it was a done deal.

 

With home security, it's all about point and shoot. There's no time to screw around trying to get a gun up to your shoulder and take aim. And there's no sound as intimidating as a pump racking a round on a shotgun.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.

      If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
